Awesome Explainer Video! (The Bermuda Triangle of SAM)
Hi all, please take 3 minutes out of your life to enjoy the amazing work carried out by Tom Davidson
and his team at: www.squideo.com. If you know of someone who could benefit from
understanding what SAM means at its core, but they are not in the SAM world, then please forward
on the URL for this page.
Whenever I am asked, “Rory – what is it you do?” I can very quickly disappear down a rabbit-hole of an explanation. This 3-minute video, though, does the job brilliantly.
SAM Charter creates ISO 19770-1: 2017-aligned IT Asset Management frameworks that means when you get your ELP, you have a crystal-clear path to improvement through your existing processes.
A point worth noting is that your processes apply to all software, so don’t try to engineer resolutions just for Microsoft or Oracle.
We have loads of collateral that will help you get up and running with SAM/ ITAM, please head over to our whitepapers page to bathe in the benefit of our wisdom and experience.
As part of the process kit revision we embarked upon with ITAM Intelligence, we can now boast a body of work that has gained ISO19770-8: 2020 accreditation. This means we are only one of three organisations in the world that has created a body of work that is aligned to IS019770-1: 2017.
If your company is thinking of achieving certification then start with what good looks like (i.e. buy the process kit!) and then customise the processes so that you have your own eco-system of processes.
Connecting processes means that entities (such as contracts and licenses) have their own lifecycle respected. It also means you start to tease out which stakeholders in other departments have to contribute to the overall SAM function – too many organisations assume “The SAM Manager can do everything.” Please note: the process kit ships with a world-class RACI chart ready for you to make it bespoke to your company.
